Here’s What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuits, cut into quarters

- 2 cups frozen hashbrowns, thawed
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups milk

How to Make Biscuits Gravy Hashbrown Casserole
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Set your oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish (or spray with cooking spray if you’re like me and always running low on butter).
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned. Break it up into crumbles as you go. Once fully cooked, set it aside—but don’t ditch the grease! That’s flavor gold for the gravy.
Step 3: Make the Gravy
In the same skillet with those tasty sausage drippings, whisk in the flour over medium heat. Cook for a minute or two until golden and bubbly. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly. Let it simmer until it thickens up into a dreamy, creamy gravy. Season with salt.
Pro Tip: If your gravy’s looking a little lumpy, don’t panic—just give it some love with the whisk. It’ll smooth out. Promise.
Step 4: Layer Like a Breakfast Boss
Time to assemble:
- Spread biscuit quarters evenly on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Layer the thawed hashbrowns right on top.
- Sprinkle on the cooked sausage.
- Pour the gravy all over everything (don’t be shy).
- Top it off with a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 5: Bake
Slide that casserole into the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling like a cozy kitchen hug.
Helpful Tips & Little Tricks
- Hashbrown hack: No need to thaw if you’re short on time—just tack on an extra 5–7 minutes of bake time.
- Cheese swap: Try pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for extra gooeyness.
- Make-ahead magic: Assemble everything the night before, cover with foil, and refrigerate. Just bake in the morning!

FAQs About Biscuits Gravy Hashbrown Casserole

Good ol’ refrigerated buttermilk biscuits work beautifully, but feel free to use your favorite brand.
